What You'll Learn

We tend to believe people either"have it" or they don't; you're either a good photographeror designer—or you're not.

We often forget that so much of photographyand design are learned skills.

Composition is a skill you can learn.

It can take a lot of work to get one beautiful image.

Even the best photographers can take hundreds to get one good one. But then how do you know which one is the best?

The composition of a frame is always among the highest priorities.When you understand the principles of composition, you can create and edit photos, flower arrangements, paper goods, websites, interiors, graphics, anything with more confidence.

Composition may be the best tool to upgrade in your skill set.

Composition will make most images exponentially better than buying a new camera or lens.Many of the images used in the course (and on this page)were taken on camera phones.
